System Crash

Recently after downloading some apps my system won't bootup properly it does go through the normal process but when it gets to the desktop and is loading it will crash and do the blue screen thing with a system dump, so I thought I would do a restore but it wouldn't allow that because there is no System Protection Icon showing in the System Window. I checked the system 32 folder and the file is there. Any idea of how I can restore the System Protection Icon?

I installed win 7 on another HDD and I still have access to the one with the problems and that is how I am able to post on this forum.I did enter safe mode with command prompt and typed rstrui.exe but all that did was to get me in system restore which I had no problem entering before the problem is that System protection is turned off and when I go into the system screen there is no icon for system protection the only icons are device manager, remote settings and advanced system settings, so before I can do a system restore I need to get system protection enabled so how do I do that?
